00:00 Yesterday, the border crossing in Rafa was opened between Egypt and Gaza.

00:07 And trucks with humanitarian aid entered Gaza.

00:11 But it is not certain if the refugees who fled the war with the Filipinos can return.

00:17 And from Cairo, Egypt, Raffy Timac is live.

00:21 Raffy, what is the latest there?

00:27 Good afternoon, it is now 12.30 here in Cairo, Piatta, Ivan.

00:33 Where the Rafa border crossing was finally opened to receive humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.

00:40 200 trucks with more than 3,000 tons of relief aid were the first to enter the border crossing towards Gaza.

00:48 This is the more than a week that has been held on the Egypt side of the Rafa border.

00:52 Food, medicine, and water are available here.

00:55 The entry of humanitarian aid coincides with the opening of a peace summit here in Egypt

01:00 regarding the ongoing war in Gaza which is on the other side of the border of Egypt.

01:04 It is also possible that the opening of the border coincides with the start of this peace summit

01:09 which is led by leaders from Europe and more than 12 Arab countries,

01:13 including the United Nations and the European Union.

01:17 But it is noteworthy that none of the expected ones will come,

01:20 the body from Israel.

01:22 Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi called the international summit last week

01:28 regarding the start of the re-incident of the chaos in Gaza,

01:31 in addition to the attack of Hamas in Israel.

01:34 Aside from the incoming of humanitarian aid to Gaza,

01:38 one of the possible discussions in the peace summit is the release of the foreign countries

01:42 who are involved in the chaos that our fellow citizens are counting on.

01:47 The opening of the border was also announced by the US embassy in Israel.

01:51 But according to the US embassy, they are not sure how long the border crossing will be opened.

01:57 As of now, no one knows the time frame that they will be able to enter

02:02 because it is not automatic that the crossing has already been opened for the relief goods to enter Gaza.

02:07 It will be opened for the release of Gaza to the foreign nationals.

02:13 So everyone is still waiting here in Cairo and in the Philippine embassy in Israel

02:19 to give a go signal if the crossing will be opened and how long it will be opened.

02:26 One of the UN events calls is for the entry of relief goods to be sustained,

02:32 for the entry of Gaza.

02:33 So it means that the crossing should be opened continuously.

02:35 So it is possible that if the crossing is opened continuously,

02:38 our fellow citizens will be able to go out to ten other foreign events.

02:43 We will continue to monitor this important development from Rafi Tiba.

02:48 Take care and thank you very much.

02:50 This was live from Cairo, Egypt.

02:53 Even now, Lebanon is being affected by the war between Israel and Hamas.

02:58 The Department of Foreign Affairs has planned to put Lebanon on alert level 3.

03:03 This means that the Filipinos were evacuated voluntarily from southern Lebanon.

03:07 More than 60 Filipinos were evacuated there so that they will not be trapped

03:11 in the backbone of the Israeli forces and Hezbollah, which is allied with the Hamas group.

03:17 In the whole of Lebanon, there are more than 17,000 Filipinos according to the DFA.

03:21 And in the interview of Super Radio-DC BB,

03:23 Undersecretary Eduardo de Vega said that Secretary Enrique Manalo is just waiting to sign

03:29 before it is implemented.

03:32 In other news, an online lending company in Makati was attacked by the authorities

03:38 that is harassing clients who are not paid.

03:41 A vlogger was live-streamed while the operation is being carried out

03:45 to anger the employees of the company.

03:48 Nico Juaez was there.

03:50 The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission,

03:56 PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, and Securities and Exchange Commission

04:00 were involved in this case in Salcedo Street, Makati City.

04:03 To protect their claims, the office of an online lending company

04:07 that is harassing clients who are not paid.

04:11 There are people like, "Watch out for the riding in tandem, it's near your house."

04:16 "We will attack you in the barangay, we will go to your barangay hall."

04:21 Basically, to embarrass and threaten.

04:24 The vlogger-influencer Rendon Labador is also in the operation.

04:28 We are helping PNP to...

04:31 It was added in a caption on Labador's Facebook Live

04:33 that the employees of the illegal lending company were arrested

04:37 and the employees' relatives were threatened.

04:41 The relatives of the employees were arrested.

04:43 The caption should not be like that,

04:45 that you think that people are guilty.

04:48 It's my fault.

04:50 Some of the faces of the employees were also shown on Labador's Facebook Live.

04:55 They are looking for their own relatives and their families.

04:59 Where are they?

05:01 Tell me.

05:03 The PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group explained that ACG and Labador have a collaboration

05:08 that's why he's in the operation.

05:10 He is asking for a partnership with me, with us, with ACG

05:14 that he will help with the advocacy.

05:17 The voices of the people are our partnership with PNP

05:22 for the advocacy to protect ordinary people.

05:27 According to the faces of the employees on Labador's Facebook Live,

05:31 the employees of ACG said that they will cover their faces.

05:35 He's not used to this. It's a work in progress.

05:38 I'll guide if necessary.

05:40 I will try to be careful so that at least this can be avoided.

05:43 The PAOCC said that the investigation is ongoing to find out who are the suspects in the harassment.

05:50 We are not being arrested.

05:52 We are being held for questioning.

05:55 We are asking them what is their participation in the allegation that was filed against this company.

06:02 The employees are denying that they are harassing their clients.

06:07 They are not illegal.

06:09 We are reminding our clients, especially the duty and overdue clients.

06:16 Just to remind, our company is registered in the Securities and Exchange Commission

06:23 and they are teaching us the memorandum that the Securities and Exchange Commission is giving,

06:30 especially the 2018 memorandum that it is prohibited to harass.

06:35 We are very tight with the SOP of compliance of the SEC.

06:42 And whoever has a violation, we give a warning or terminated.

06:48 For GMA Integrated News, Mico Juahe, 24 Hours.

06:53 Here in the Philippines, a Belgian national was arrested and wanted in the Netherlands

06:58 for cases involving drugs and child abuse.

07:02 And one of the victims was removed by the ear.

07:06 John Consulta Exclusive was on the scene.

07:11 After the establishment of a hotel in Metro Manila, the people of the B.I. Vigilance Search Unit immediately surrounded the Belgian national, Christophe Deby.

07:21 According to the B.I., the fugitive is a fashion model by day but a criminal boss by night.

07:28 He was wanted in Amsterdam for crimes involving drugs and child abuse.

07:34 According to the Interpol Red Notice, he is facing multiple cases including the torture of minors, unlawful and arbitrary detention.

07:44 One of his victims was removed by the ear of a minor.

07:48 He knew that his warrant would be issued, so he went to Dubai and after Dubai, he went straight to the Philippines.

07:55 It was not easy to find the fugitive because he plans to hide here in the Philippines for a long time.

08:03 We are undergoing a tactical interrogation to find out if he has a local network here, especially if he is involved in cocaine smuggling.

08:11 Because of the heavy cases that the Belgian fugitive is facing, the B.I. is now proceeding to the court to answer the cases filed against him.

08:20 His deportation proceedings are ongoing.

08:23 Once this is over, we will finally deport him and he will be placed on our blacklist, meaning he will not be able to return to the country.

08:34 For GMA Integrated News, John Consulta, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.

08:40 Cebuano fans listened to the Barta Love Theme of Barbie Forteza and David Licauco in their mall show in Cebu tonight.

08:51 Barta has a message for the upcoming end of "Maging Sino Ka Man".

08:56 From Cebu City, live from Cebu, Femarie Dumabok of GMA Regional TV, Balitang Bista.

09:02 Nelson, the Barta Love Theme is now in Cebu City, the main cast of "Maging Sino Ka Man", Barbie Forteza and David Licauca.

09:18 Here at the Toposo Mall Show in Cebu City.

09:23 Barbie Forteza and David Licauco are not yet noticed.

09:27 The activity center of a mall is already full.

09:29 Cebuano fans have brought balloons with the name of Barta and they are not stopping buying.

09:36 They are more shy when the Barta Love Theme arrives.

09:40 Teenagers, young hearts, their excitement will not be hidden.

09:45 Barbie and David are not yet noticed.

09:49 Oh my gosh, to be honest, I'm tired because we both came from taping.

10:02 We don't know if we can get the energy that we can share with them.

10:08 But when we saw the people, when we saw the Cebuano fans, it was like everything was gone.

10:12 Because it's so worth it, all the travel and just to be here with all our Kapuso, so happy.

10:20 And we love Cebu, don't we?

10:23 Yeah, I love Cebu and now Barbie loves Cebu.

10:27 Oh yes.

10:28 Kapuso, I hope you will still follow "Maging Sino Ka Man".

10:33 We are already in the last two weeks, there is still a lot to wait.

11:27 The price of eggs is rising in some families in Metro Manila and the province.

11:33 Like chicken and some Noche Buena items.

11:36 The price of canned goods is also rising.

11:39 Bernadette Reyes is on the scene.

11:41 Michelle and her son usually have a big breakfast.

11:49 But...

11:50 It's a bittersweet because the size of the eggs is small.

11:54 It's not like before, the size is big.

11:57 Before, it was big, now it's small.

11:59 Because it's expensive.

12:02 The cheapest medium-sized eggs in some families in Metro Manila is now 7 pesos.

12:07 According to the monitoring of the Agriculture Department,

12:10 it was only 6 pesos last Sunday of August.

12:13 Here in Mega Q Mart in Quezon City,

12:16 each medium-sized egg is worth 8 pesos and 50 cents.

12:20 But aside from the price, the supply of eggs is also a threat to egg wholesalers.

12:26 The price is continuously rising.

12:28 Because we started at 170 ismol, now it's 210.

12:35 The supply is not enough.

12:36 We ordered 50 trays, they will give us 30.

12:40 Even in Jensan, according to Superadio Jensan,

12:44 the price of eggs has also increased by 2 pesos.

12:47 According to the Philippine Egg Board Association,

12:49 the farmgate price of eggs was only 5 pesos last August.

12:53 According to the DA, the demand is really increasing but the supply is also increasing.

12:58 Now, they are ramping up production.

13:01 We can expect that the demand will increase again.

13:04 The price of chicken is doubled, even if the farmgate price is only 85 to 94 pesos.

13:10 Aside from that, canned meat manufacturers have a high price.

13:14 The demand for canned food is 36 to 2 pesos and 50 cents,

13:22 including corned beef, meatloaf and beefloaf.

13:25 The increase is not approved.

13:27 We are not insisting.

13:28 We are just discussing because that's what we need.

13:32 Even for some noche buenas, it will be expensive.

13:35 The price is 4 to 6 pesos higher than in 2022 for holiday ham, pear-shaped ham and American ham.

13:43 According to the Philippine Association of Meat Processors, Inc.,

13:47 the price should be higher but they still tried to maintain the price as high as possible for those who will buy.

13:53 Even if the price is a bit high, we will only increase it by 1 to 4 percent.

14:00 The price guide of DTI will be released next week.

14:04 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Katutok, 24 Horas.
